Dear well-wisher,
In this newsletter we bring to you a write-up of a recent visit to our beloved school OKSSS, written by Arun Patel (chairman, OKAS Fund); more success stories (of course!), and other notable items. We start with Arun’s report:

Dear well-wisher,
We are grateful to you for your continued support of OKAS Fund. It is because of your support that we have been able to continue our scholarship program and other projects at our beloved school, Old Kampala Senior Secondary School (OKSSS).

Your contribution, however small, makes a big difference in the lives of our sponsored students.

Dear well-wisher,

These are difficult times. We are in the midst of a pandemic. The coronavirus has brought hardship and suffering all over the world. But in developing countries, and especially among the poor, the impact has been far more pronounced, worsened by lack of medical care and social support programs.

During the pandemic, our work continues.

In the summer of 2018 some of the trustees and well-wishers of OKAS Fund visited Books Abroad, a U.K.-registered charity founded some four decades ago.  

Books Abroad is based in Rhynie, a small village in Northern Scotland. It is 40 miles west of the coastal town of Aberdeen, and about 140 miles north of Edinburgh.
